Thankyou for all those who reviewed! Here is the second chapter of flu season – Transport.

Same disclaimer applies as before, although instead of the oranges, I now own a life time supply of throat lozenges, ah were would I be without them?

Enjoy, and don't forget to review!


Amy studied the figures on her computer screen. If she was actually going to pull this off, she was going to need an extremely large miracle, or maybe a massive power up. Biting her lip, Amy studied the figures again, her eyes lighting up at the possible solution. Perhaps as scouts they could make enough power to get her across town and to Darien's apartment.

Lifting her head as Raye's voice bore out of the communicator, Amy smiled. Darien was on his way home, which meant she didn't have very long till Serena had to be there. Squaring her slim shoulders, she tucked her computer into her sub-space pocket and reached for her communicator. Pulling it towards her face she quickly spoke into it.

"Girls I have the answer, meet me at Serena's in 5 minutes."

Putting the communicator away, Amy hurried out of the temple. Hopefully Mina had managed to persuade Serena's parents into letting her come out with them, or things were really going to be bent out of shape. With that thought in mind, Amy ran down the street, her mind praying Mina had put her good charm, to use.


Mina smiled at the Tsukino's. This was going to be so easy, that she wouldn't even have to think hard. All she would really have to do was speak really fast, smile a lot and pray they were too confused by her talking to actually grasp what she was saying. In theory it sounded nice, but now to put it into action.

"Hi Mina, I'm guessing you've come to see Serena?" Mrs. Tsukino's smiling face met Mina at the door.

"Well actually…" Mina sucked in a breath and gave it all she had. "YouseeiwashopingicouldtakeSerenaawaywithmebecauseiknowofthisreallycoolguywhowouldlovetohelpSerenagetbetterandiknowyouwillprobablysaynosoi'mhopingthatyouhavenoideawhatitisi'msayingwillsmilenodandletmepastintothehousetokidnapserena!"

(Translation: You see I was hoping I could take Serena away with me because I know of this really cool guy who would love to help Serena get better and I know you will probably say no so I'm hoping that you have no idea what it is I'm saying will smile and nod and let me past into the house to kidnap Serena!)

Mrs. Tsukino shook her head, hoping the babble she had just heard would make some sense. "Why of course Mina dear. Come inside, I'm sure Serena is dying to go out!"

Mina grinned. Tucking her bag higher onto her shoulder, Mina skipped into the house and up the stairs towards Serena's room, her smile turning into giggles the second she got to the top of the stairs. "That was too easy" she muttered before bursting into Serena's room.

"Serenaaaaaaaa!" Mina sung, skipping over to the still lump on the bed.

"Mphmh" Serena groaned and opened an eye, to shut it again when her blurry vision rested on the too happy blonde before her.

"Come now Serena, it's time to get you better!" Mina danced around the room, collecting a few of Serena's possessions and throwing them into an overnight bag. Picking up the cutest stuffed Bunny she could find, Mina threw that in as well. Laughing wildly to herself, Mina continued to collect her possessions, hoping Serena would like what she had chosen.


Lita rushed into the Crown Arcade, narrowly missing Darien as he ran out. Spotting Raye at the counter, she smirked and rushed over. "Have you seen Andrew?" Lita asked, not giving the poor waitress a chance to even smile.

The girl smiled. "He's out back. Would you like me to get –" The girl frowned. Where had that girl gone?

Lita burst through the double doors and immediately sought Andrew out. Rushing past the kitchen hands she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the side.

"Lita? What's going on?" Andrew tugged on his hand, hoping to dislodge it from Lita's strong grip.

"I need all the dirt you have on Darien." Lita pushed her face close to Andrew's.

"Dirt? Lita I don't understand."

Lita shrugged. "Serena's sick, so we are gonna make Darien look after her and hopefully make the two of them finally realize their feelings for each other. So I need all that you know about Darien, and I need it now!"

Andrew smiled. "I don't know a lot about Darien. He isn't the most talkative person. All I can really tell you is he is mostly alone. He is in college, has a steady, well paying job that works around his lectures and is paying the way for him to become a doctor."

Lita thoughtfully rubbed her chin. "A doctor huh? That is even better!"

Andrew laughed. "He isn't too far from becoming one either. Listen Lita, you should be careful though."

Lita waved his comment away. "Darien? Puh-lease, I could so take him."

Andrew laughed lightly. "I'm not worried about that, I'm more worried about him. He doesn't deal well with people crowding him. You're just going to leave Serena there aren't you?"

Lita stared at him in shock. "Andrew! Just what do you take me for? As if we'd stay there too, talking about cramping their style. This is about Darien and Serena finally admitting their feelings for each other, not about a massive slumber party at Darien's house. Sheesh."

Andrew smiled sheepishly. "Sorry Lita. I just worry about Darien."

Lita laughed. "No sweat Drew. Thanks for the chat." Turning she rushed out of the back room. Spotting Raye listening on her communicator, Lita met her at the door. "Serena's?"

Raye nodded. "Let's hope Mina's babbling worked. Time to transport the cargo."


Amy effortlessly scaled Serena's wall, carefully climbing into her bedroom. Spotting Mina crazily dancing around Serena's bedroom, Amy sighed. "Mina!"

Mina stopped dancing and smiled at her bluenette friend. "Yes Amy?"

"Will you stop the dancing? I'm guessing you managed to persuade Serena's parents. Te last thing we need is for them to walk in when we are trying to transport Serena."

Mina frowned. "Sorry Ames."

Amy smiled. "No problem. Right we need to move some things if we are going to be able to move her properly. I don't think her parents will be happy if we singe her furniture. Not to mention she'd kill us if we hurt her bunnies in anyway."

Mina nodded her face deadly serious. "I don't even want to think about it. The girls should be here soon shouldn't they?"

Amy moved to look out the window. Spotting Lita and Raye running up the street she nodded. "They should be here any second."

"Right." Pulling her transformation pen out of her sub-space pocket, Mina lifted it high above her head. "Venus Power!" Smiling as the familiar power coursed through her body. As the light faded, Sailor Venus pulled her famous stance, smiling cheekily at Amy. "I will so never tire of that feeling."

Amy nodded and glanced out of the window. Seeing Raye and Lita make it to the tree outside Serena's window, Amy stepped back and pulled her own pen out of her sub-space pocket. "Mercury Power!" Letting the cool ice waters of mercury wash over her, Amy let her mind go blank as her transformation washed power through her veins.

Lita climbed in the window her eyes widening at the blue display before her. Turning her head slightly she winked at Sailor Venus bouncing up and down in the corner. Pulling Raye in behind her, Lita smiled happily. "So I see both of your missions worked?"

Sailor Venus nodded. "Said my speech so fast I don't think Serena's mum knew what hit her."

Amy pulled her computer towards her. "I have figured out a way to transport her. It will be hard, but I think we can pull it off."

Raye rubbed her hands together. "Well Darien should be almost home by now, so I think it is safe to go ahead and transport her now. But first…Mars Power!"

Lita following in her example pulled her transformation wand out and too shouted her own transformation words, "Jupiter Power!"

When all was completed, Amy gathered everyone in a circle around Serena (who they had moved to the floor). Placing her overnight bag, a pillow and a bunny beside her, the girls joined hands and called out the powers of their planet, igniting a rainbow light so powerful hours later people would claim it was like seeing a light show right before their very eyes.

"Mars Power!"

"Mercury Power:

"Jupiter Power!"

"Venus Power!"

"Teleport!"

In a flurry of bright colors, the scouts and one very out of it Serena disappeared from the second story of the Tsukino's house and appeared very suddenly in the lobby of the Mason Apartments.

Smiling happily, Sailor Venus skipped to the door of Darien's apartment and knocked. Helping the girls place Serena in front of it, they left her and hurried away; making it to safety as the door opened and a very surprised Darien stepped out.


"What the?" Bending down, Darien studied the object before him. Spotting a note attached to the front of her top, Darien bent forward and gently pulled it off.

Darien,

The meatball head is sick, and we are unable to take care of her.

You will find next to her a bag of things she may need.

Do not try and send her back to us, for you will find her back inside your apartment before you can say "hey".

From, Serena's friends.

"Oh boy." Darien whispered as he stared down at the flush-faced, slumbering meatball head. Just what was he going to do now?


So there you have it, the second chapter!

I am ever so grateful for those of you who took the time to read and review on this; it makes me feel ever so slightly better!

Well my dear old crush has been offering me pieces of advice on how to get better, my favourite one being to eat oranges, as they are undoubtedly the cure for the flu… not sure where he found that cure, but hey gotta try everything right?

Well I am now going to work on the next chapter!

Cheers, BeraMoon
